Bricked?? Stuck at samsung logo screen for 1 sec then reboots.

Okay, So the title pretty much says it all. I am stuck at the Samsung boot logo (not bootanimation) and it only shows for about 1 second then reboots and continues.
This started after I tried to flash a rom and it messed up and I tried to flash via odin. I was on MJ9 and and got a bootloop so I did the odin thing. I've used odin before but it is not working well for me now.
I am able to boot into download mode but TWRP no longer works. I was able to flash via odin and it says success but the phone does not reboot like it should.
I have purchased a galaxy nexus on the cheap to hold me over until the nexus 6 is out but if I can fix my note, I would like to.
I know there were other threads about this same issue but it seems that they are all on a different version of the note, or on a s3 or something. Not to mention, I don't see anything that I could try without asking for some help on here. Can someone maybe point me in the direction of the factory firmware (preferably a rootable or already rooted version) that I can flash that will play well with my note.
Thanks guys!!!

Before you tried to flash a custom ROM and things went wonky...were you on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9 firmware, or on Beanstown106’s modified 4.3 MJ9 with TWRP installed?
Does the phone still boot into stock recovery? If so, you may be able to fix the phone by doing a factory reset.

If you were on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9, then you won't be able to Odin flash back to 4.1.2 or any earlier Android version because the bootloader has been locked down tight on 4.3 (and 4.4.2) with no current do it yourself method to unlock for those newer versions. You would want to restore the phone back to factory stock 4.3 though, if that's what version you were on before your phone got messed up. You can root the phone on 4.3 with saferoot, then use safestrap recovery to flash some custom Touchwiz ROM's.
If you were on the 4.1.2 based bootloader, (but running Beanstown106’s MJ9 firmware and TWRP), then you would want to restore your phone back to factory stock 4.1.2 and then root and unlock the bootloader again with CASUAL. This would give you the most flexibility with flashing custom kernels, ROM's, etc...
Check out Section 1b in Droidstyle's restore guide at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. The guide has download links for the files you'll need to restore the phone back to the correct build version.

[Q] I9300 stuck at samsung logo, even after installing stock rom

Hello everyone,
I had CM11 installed on my Samsung galaxy S3 I9300. But I wanted to trade my phone with my dads and he wanted the simple stock rom (Android 4.3). I tried flashing the stock rom on it which went good until the last step when it should reboot itself. But i'm stuck at the samsung logo, I tried everything (pulling out battery, rebooting it, install stock rom again,...).
And I even can't get in recovery mode. The only possible mode in can get in is download mode. What can the problem be? Have I done something wrong? Should I try to install another stock rom from another country? Is there another way to get in recovery mode? I am from Belgium and I can't find the "Belgian stock rom", so I tried installing it from the Netherlands, is that the problem?
Thanks already.
What is the filename of the stock ROM you flashed and which options did you select in Odin?

First thing you should always do after flashing stock rom or any rom that causes a boot loop is to boot into recovery and factory reset then wipe cache this solves 90% of bootloops. Now I know you said you can't get into recovery so try flashing a custom recovery with odin then try booting into that and then factory reset.

Help - Star GT S7262 duos whitescreened

ok, I', usually pretty good at rooting and such having my galaxy S4 for many years now but I got this Galaxy Star for work just to use it off wifi and bluetooth but it had 4.1 and i needed it on 4.4 for it to work so I knew i needed to root it, load recovery and find an updated rom.
I Odin'd CWM recovery and all I got was a white screen when going into recovery mode. didnt matter what i tried. I wound up flashing a file that also wiped out my download screen, now all I see it a blueish/white screen for download mode, but I can odin files ok.
I've tried every stock recovery hard reset file i can find online and nothing helps. Any help is appreciated. Is there any samsung stock firmware somehere that wipes everything???
Model: GT-S7262
and I seem to have bricked it now, wont even power up after flashing a phillipine version of the firmware.
well, no more white screen but now I have no display at all. still goes into download mode though.

I came from a Galaxy S4 too
You need to flash FireLord1's CWM 6.0.5.1 on stock ROM, otherwise you will get a whitescreen trying to enter.
I know it works with both Indian and Eaten European firmwares.
ok, so i need a link to a the stock rom and his CWM. I can find indian firmware i think.
Weird thing is, I can hear it boot up, Samsung Kies and Odin see it just fine. Just a black screen for everything now.
got it back working with this firmware..

how to root g925 with marshmallow 6.0.1

Does anyone know of a system to root the new samsung marshmallow 6.0.1
i've tried the system with 2 bootloaders,
i've tried carhdrom and the samsung themes in settings is gone and i can't get to root,
so i installed the new marshmallow that samsung just posted but i can't root it with whatever old suggestions
can anyone help please
much appreciated,
sincerely
I'm also struggling.
I've flashed stock 6.0.1 (from 51.1.) and tried to flash TWRP but I get the 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing'.
Help!
seandroid
this only means you don't have a stock samsung rom and possibly you knocked knox for service, if that keeps up at nite.
i've installed criscross new marshmallow but i lost the samsung themes option in setting,
it has a huge stock of very nice themes for free.
have a hunch that because the rom is very fresh no one has come up with a solution
let me know if you succeed.
good luck

It's a stock Samsung rom. Getting the message doesn't bother me and neither does tripping knox, but it bothers me that rather than booting into recovery I get the 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing' and nothing else. I have to boot into download mode and get back the phone back from there.

SM G925F???
Hi there will this root method work for the international SM-G925F version?
Greetings Dudes / Dudettes
So I have the kernel flashed and SuperSU installed but still I get "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" when trying to boot TWRP..also tried Philz same no dicee :< = no custom roms right ?
How can I fix this apart from flashing an older rom....
EDIT:
If somebody else is stuck in the future google OLD_BL_TWRP_2.8.7.2.tar it gave me a working recovery :>
EDIT2:
What appeared to be working was all nice and all but then the current stock marshmallow rom would not boot up.
according to the guys at twrp site, they do not have as yet a formal twrp version for marshmallow for the g925f
i tried just about every version out there none worked
what i want to know is how do i flash a custom rom WITHOUT TWRP - ?

S6-Edge stuck in TWRP recovery mode

Hello all,
Recently I bought the S8 Plus and I want to sell my S6 Edge, so I wanted to clean it first before actually selling it.
I rooted my phone before, I can't remember how or what software I used, I have a feeling it was Odin,
anyway, I cleaned up my phone by doing a factory reset from within Android's settings.
Since that moment, my phone is stuck in TWRP's Recovery mode.
I have multiple stock roms, but Odin is not able to make a connection with the phone, because I can't get into boot mode.
I've also read things about ADB Sideload, but that freezes up my phone.
Then I read about some command line to type in via the terminal, but that didn't work either.
Also trying to install stuck roms didn't do anything.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get my phone back into bootmode so I can load up Odin and put a stock rom on it?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Boot to Download from TWRP Recovery (Reboot - select - Download)
Fire-up Odin, flash one of your multiple stock roms.

That doesn't work either.
If I select Download, my phones freezes up.
Update:
I managed to update TWRP, making me able to go back to Download mode!
But, once I tried Odin to flash a stock rom, it failed.
Also, my KNOX Warrenty Void is set '1'.
Am I still able to install any roms or get this KNOX fixed?

If you have a PC, use samsung smart switch to re-initialize your device.
And you can not do anything for tripped knox.
